Re: NBA .GIF thread?

I didn't even notice this until the announcers pointed it out...I was too focused on one of our bench players dancing and swinging his arms in the air in an attempt to make LeBron miss the technical foul shot. I wish someone could find that!

Re: NBA .GIF thread?

This maybe belongs in the Wilt thread, but hey... it's a gif and I don't feel like searching for that thread.

Kareem's sky hook was voted by players and coaches as the most unstoppable move in basketball history. Wilt was the only man to block it. Here he blocks a righty, then a lefty. Kareem's release point on the sky hook was supposedly 12'6" and this is, of course, Wilt well past his prime at about age 35. This was in the 1971 or 1972 playoffs, and Wilt blocked 7 of Kareem's shots that game.

Kareem gets so over looked in top player talk. I have him up there with Jordan as the greatest of all time. I think it had to do with his personality and off the court beliefs why he gets overlooked but Kareem really should be in the convo as a top 1-3 player most people have him well below 5. Wilt was a man before his time he looks like Dwight in terms of body the dude would be unstoppable in today's game. To me he was the LBJ of his era just a guy who was a man amongst boys physically I guess Oscar could be in that category also. But every time I watch Wilt games his size and athleticism is just unreal for his era and any era.

The first one looks like he's rolling dice, the second one though, is that a slow jerk?

I didn't see the first, but I saw the second. If the camera was panned down enough, you could see his hand, which looked more appropriate. Either way, I'm glad these are on here, I thought that was awesome.
